Anyone remember a post OoTP story in which Harry teaches DADA 1-5 in his 6th year, and all 7 years in his 7th? I remember D-dore taught NEWT DADA in the first story.
I've been trying to remember which one it was.--

Bra size forty-five, Bra size forty-five,
Bra size forty-five, Bra size forty-five
Well I went out for a boogie, a week ago last Tuesday
I was doing the Wigan Hustle and the Palais Glide
I met a girl in pink suspenders and her boswams were stupendous
Like two bald-headed men sitting side by side
She wore a bra size forty-five, and she could jump and jive
And when she stopped dancing, bits of her kept wobbling about
She said "You drive me crazy, burn some rubber on me, Baby!"
She grabbed my little whistle and she began to shout...
Hit me with your rhythm stick, Hit me, Hit me
Je t'adore, Ich liebe dick, Hit me, Hit me, Hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick,
I'm six feet tall and five feet thick
Hit me, Hit me, Hit me...
Bra size forty-five, Bra size forty-five
I couldn't do nothing but stand and stare, she gave a hug like a grizzly bear
I couldn't see much, I thought I was dead, I had boobs upside my head
Boobs upside my head, boobs upside my head
Oh what a front she had, enough for me, my brother and Dad
A chest of drawers no doubt, one with the top drawer half pulled out
Oh what a front she'd got, believe me son, she'd got the lot
Right before my eyes, and she was bra size forty-five
Erm, excuse me, what do I do now?
Man be cool - gotta get down and have a rap
I beg your pardon? I think I'll do a talking bit instead...
She was the big economy size, her boswams were gigantic
Like two fat little boys, wrestling under a blanket
The flickering strobes lit up the globes that thrust from her pullover
I think her name was June 'cos she was busting out all over
She said "Can you feel the force, do y'wanna take one step beyond?"
I said "Goodness gracious great balls of fire, there's a whole lotta shaking going on"
She said "Knock on wood, I'll blame it on the boogie, now what do ya think about that?"
I said "Ooh heck, it must be jelly, cos jam don't shake like that"
Not so much of the night fever, more like a belt with a tyre lever
She was not at all pendulous, in fact she was tremendulous
Bra size forty-five, Bra size forty-five,
Bra size forty-five, Bra size forty-five
She wore a bra size forty-five, and when they played "I Will Survive"
She went crackers, and her animal desires became much keener
She said "John I'm only dancing, but I'd rather be romancing"
She had me inside out and upside down in the back of my Cortina
Hit me with your rhythm stick...
And there in my car, the windows all steamed up, I thought I would drown,
She let it all hang out in bras (size forty-five)
And there in my car, I thought "this is it", an instant replay,
My foot out the window in bras (size forty-five)
Oo-rah, Oo-rah, Oo-rah, ay,
Over the hills and now I'm on my way
I got out my tent pole and chewed her [Tempole Tudor]
Oo-rah, Oo-rah, Oo-rah, ay,
Over the hills and now I'm on my way
Come on, let's do the Bristol Stomp
She wore a bra size forty-five, I thought I never would revive
When I tackled that young lady with the bounciest of blouses
But she left me for a geezer who had much more chance to please her
With his own master blaster and a pair of baggy trousers
Oh what fun they had...
Bra size forty-five, Bra size forty-five,
Bra size forty-five, Bra size forty-five

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Hey guys, if you haven't already noticed, Gryph's posted the first part of the new Cybertron remix/retcon. And it's greatness! Get your crack-weasel selves over there! ^_^
Also, it's reportedly chronologically _last_ in the Future Imprefect era. And Gryph has said that stories written after that point will be in a whole new section. -Logan
-----------------
Crow T. Robot: Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

Gryphon has released issue one of cybertron reloaded... run over and check it out _____________________________

Has anyone else been having trouble getting to FFnet? For me, at least, I've only been able to connect maybe three or four times in the past week.*********

I thought there was a thread around from CD about this, but I couldn't find it. Oh well. Without further ado...
The Griffin and the Fox, Chapter 9, is updated after a very long wait.
www.fanfiction.net/s/1865607/9/
A few notes:
The overly melodramatic, almost like it's ripped from bad smut novel dialogue during the third scene is intentional. Why? Good question.
Rather short, all things considered, but the chapter has given me NO END of frustration and only in the past week has it come sufficiently unhinged that it would flow. Dark days ahead, ladies and gentlemen.
Link may not work immediately, due to the vagaries of FF.net, but the chapter IS there.

I wrote this up commenting on edenfalling's LJ, actually, but it didn't gather much discussion there and I wanted to throw it out for people to go over.

Bob memtioned that he'd like some more suggestions for songs that give a power to someone else when Doug plays them, after I mentioned Kate Bush's "Rubberband Girl" as a projected version of the Spinners' "Rubberband Man."
Well, I havene't gotten too far thinking of songs that always prject a specific ability, but I have a metasong, that would make the next one after that apply to the target of this one - Dio by Tenacious D. Even better, it's pretty short as songs go, at 1:41.

Anything you want, You Got It! Of course, it's only persistent if it transforms/damages/modifies something that actually exists...
... and playing this in AMS-land is probably a bad idea with a capital BAD.
